NAME

       Ekiga - SIP and H.323 Voice over IP and Videoconferencing for UN*X

SYNOPSIS

       ekiga [-d level] [-c URL]

DESCRIPTION

       Ekiga  is a SIP and H.323 VoIP, IP Telephony and Video Conferencing application which complies to the SIP
       and H.323 protocols. It can connect to a variety of other SIP and H323  applications  including  specific
       hardware.  Ekiga  can  work  with or without a webcam, and is able to create pure audio communications or
       traditional audio+video communications. Ekiga was formerly known as GnomeMeeting. Ekiga has been designed
       for the GNOME desktop and therefore uses gconfd-2(1) for storing its userdata.  It  offers  to  configure
       almost  every  option  from  within  the GUI. Command-line options include -d to turn on debugging during
       calls.  -c to call another URL.

OPTIONS

       -d level
              turn on debugging (on the console), level should be between 1 and 4.

       -c URL Calls the given URL. Ekiga can be running or not when invoking that option. SIP, H.323 and  CALLTO
              URLs are supported.

FILES

       /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/ekiga/
              The  system wide configuration file. See gconf-config(1) for further details on gconf. (The actual
              place can differ depending on your system's configuration)
       ~/.gconf/apps/ekiga
              Per user configuration file. See gconf-config(1) for further details.

ENVIRONMENT

       On startup Ekiga reads the system-wide gconf schemas  (like  every  other  GNOME2  app  should  do)  from
       /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps.   Every  modification  of  the gconf keys using the GUI, gconftool or
       gconf-editor is reflected in real-time by Ekiga.
